problems with syntax highlighting in vim
Apologies if this has been posted already.
I am trying to use vim to edit some html files. Never had a problem
setting the syntax before, but on my Debian install (testing), I get this
when I am inside a simple index.html file and type the ex command:
:syntax on
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim64/syntax/syntax.vim:
line 42:
E216: No such group or event: filetypedetect BufRead
Hit ENTER or type command to continue
... anyone else ever seen this? I checked out the file it was trying to
process and yep, that directive is on line 42 ...
I'm guessing it might be some vim support package I'm missing but if so I
don't know why it wasn't downloaded as a dependency ...
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Glenn
